He looked worriedly towards the Refining Spirit Sect, towards Mengyuan Mountain.
He understood that the reason Zeng Zifang kept causing trouble in the Refining Spirit Sect was to probe the Refining Spirit Sect's bottom line and hidden cards.
Azure Phoenix and the Spirit Ant Bee swarm were powers unknown to the Ba Ling Sect.
However, the Ba Ling Sect would only pay more attention to the Refining Spirit Sect, and would not abandon its plan to unify the Lower Road. This was also something he could not stop or change.
At the edge of the Chifeng Mountain Range, another hundred feet would take them out of the Refining Spirit Sect.
Ancestor Zeng turned back, looking in the direction of the Refining Spirit Sect, a trace of incomprehension in his eyes.
The chihuang cloud flew over the Refining Spirit Sect's grand Formation and entered the Ba Ling Sect's own territory.
The Refining Spirit Sect's grand Formation roared into action, connecting into a single entity, forming a solid barrier.
Ancestor Zeng shook his head, “The Refining Spirit Sect is not simple; it’s not as weak as we imagined.”
As soon as he finished speaking, four points of light flew out from the bronze Puppet. The points of light, upon reaching the sky, transformed into the Ba Ling Sect's Four Old Ancestors.
Zhao Family Old Ancestor, Ancestor Zeng, Ancestor Mo, and Shi Family Patriarch.
The Four Old Ancestors were connected to each other, forming a terrifying Formation that twisted space, making it impossible for people in the distance to see any trace.
Qian Duoduo felt a chill: The Ba Ling Sect had actually prepared early for the Refining Spirit Sect's diplomatic mission to stay.
If a real fight broke out, these Protectors and Elders would be the first to become cannon fodder.
Ancestor Mo sighed, “The Refining Spirit Sect has hidden a lot of its strength. We need to re-evaluate.”
Just Azure Phoenix and the Spirit Ant Bee swarm alone would require the Ba Ling Sect to at least dedicate the strength of one peak to contend with them.
Ancestor Zeng nodded, “Just for their confidence in letting me leave safely, we must prioritize the Refining Spirit Sect over the Shengling Sect. Behind confidence lies strength.”
“Let’s fight. We are preparing, and the Refining Spirit Sect is also preparing. Now is the best time.”
Ancestor Mo shook his head and stood on the chihuang cloud with the other Three Old Ancestors.
Returning to the Ba Ling Sect, the Old Ancestors disappeared at the peak, and the crowd dispersed. Qian Duoduo and Guan Tusheng returned to Qian Manor, called Ming Huanhuan together, and informed her of the impending Three Sects War.
“Senior Brother,” Guan Tusheng took out the Tianji Abacus, pointing to the constantly spinning heavenly bead and saying, “The outcome is uncertain.”
Ming Huanhuan, shocked by the news of the war, looked at the heavenly bead, then raised her head and said, “I don’t care about the Ba Ling Sect or the Refining Spirit Sect. Wherever Senior Brother is, I will be. Regardless of life or death, good or bad fortune, I will never leave.”
Guan Tusheng’s body trembled, startled by Ming Huanhuan’s simple and direct words. At the same time, the heavenly bead on the abacus in his hand stopped spinning.
He showed joy, “Me too. Whatever Senior Brother tells me to do, I will do.”
Qian Duoduo looked at the two who trusted him so blindly, and thought of Wang Dahei and Huang Guiren of the Refining Spirit Sect.
Whether it was Guan Tusheng or Ming Huanhuan, or Wang Dahei and Huang Guiren, he did not wish for them to meet on the battlefield.
“You two, seize the time to Cultivate and Master more corpse Puppets.”
Qian Duoduo thought for a long time and felt that no matter how tense the situation became, all he could do now was improve his own strength. “Don’t be stingy with gold coins. Quickly advance to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. At the very least, you must be able to control nine Foundation Establishment Great Perfection corpse Puppets. The number of Golden Ox must exceed five thousand.”
After Guan Tusheng and Ming Huanhuan left, Qian Duoduo gave the same orders to Pang Yunhan, Fei Ming, and others, then flew to Left Ear Peak, collected a massive amount of Evil River water, purified it into soul liquid, and distributed it to Guan Tusheng and the others.
After arranging them, Qian Duoduo returned to Qian Manor, activated all the shielding Formations, and began refining Puppets.
In his Lower Spirit Sea, there was still a big problem to solve. The Saint Artifact Spirit soaking in the Lower Spirit Sea was slowly increasing his cultivation.
Qian Duoduo locked himself in the Artifact Refining Room, continuously refining Puppets.
Hundreds of Puppets had already been refined, but the fat boy of the Saint Artifact Spirit showed no sign of movement.
Qian Duoduo gnashed his teeth in hatred, wanting nothing more than to find Azure Phoenix to create some life-or-death crisis to wake up that lazy fat boy.
Suddenly, he remembered the Saint Artifact Spirit saying it was a ‘Sibuxiang’.
“Master, the Sacred Artifact said it’s a Sibuxiang. What kind of creature is this Sibuxiang?” Qian Duoduo asked Liu Boli in his mind.
Although he was proficient in the “Encyclopedia of Weapon Refining” and knowledgeable about all Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds, he had never heard of any Spirit Beast or Spirit Birds called Sibuxiang.
